[:ru]Can’t see the return on your youtube channel? Then you need to buy buy subscribers.

YouTube followers are equivalent to followers on Instagram or Twitter. These types of metrics are some of the first things people start listing when it comes to measuring the success of their social media channels. Outside of the measurement competition, however, YouTube’s subscriber-based success scores do not reach an accurate measurement of anything other than your pride. I’m sorry I’m so straightforward. But I will explain why I stand on my demand.

First of all, ask yourself why you are trying to grow followers. Maybe you want to monetize (from advertising, freebies, sponsorship, etc.), or become famous on YouTube. In any of these cases, the number of subscribers will have very little effect on your ultimate success.

The number of YouTube subscribers does not matter for monetization
Every time I see people ask this type of question on Reddit or Quora:

How many subscribers do I need to earn tons of money on YouTube?
The question itself cannot be answered, because the person asking the question is looking at the wrong dimension: the number of subscribers. If your goal is to maximize the amount of money you can earn on YouTube, whether through YouTube advertising, sponsorship, or even answering questions through Worthyt, it becomes apparent that your YouTube subscriber account does not matter.

In order to effectively monetize, the big number that matters is the amount of your views. After all, YouTube monetization does not pay you every month, depending on how many subscribers you have; instead, it pays you based on eyeballs that consume ads on your video. Even if you have a million subscribers, getting only ten views per video, you will receive a penny a month.

And before you start trying to claim that more subscribers equals more views, take a look at this channel. I edited all the information, except for the number of subscribers and the number of views for the privacy of the creator. At the time of this writing, they had over 30,000 followers — quite impressive! But the hype ends there. Take a look at their view counter.

Over the past two months, their most popular video has gained 983 views. Well, unfortunately, YouTube’s monetization amounts to thousands of views (usually expressed like this: I earn $ 1 per 1000 views on average). Thus, within two months this creator was not able to use his YouTube subscribers at all, as a result of which he earned, perhaps, a dollar or two through the monetization of YouTube.

Of course, there are other ways to monetize, such as posting and answering questions from your fans at Worthyt. But the success of most of the additional monetization methods depends on the number of video views, and not on the number of YouTube subscribers.

So what should you measure instead?

In the YouTube studio, in the analytics section, you should first look at your views. Views show how many people watched your videos. By default, it is set to 28 days, so you have the total number of views of all your videos in the last 28 days.

I personally think that 28 days is a great time interval for measuring, because it essentially amounts to a month. To maximize monetization, the number of views is one of the numbers you should get higher. Of course, increasing the number of views on YouTube requires you to be creative; after all, if it were really that simple, then everyone could do it. But it’s not so difficult either. Some basic things you should focus on are:

YouTube video tags are very important tags. When you write tags, think about everything your viewer can search to find your video, and write it as a tag. For example, if you are making a video about what cryptocurrency is, do not just mark it as cryptocurrency, but also mark it as what is cryptocurrency, because this is what viewers will enter in the search bar.
YouTube Video titles-titles is a great way to enhance your search appearance. Again, select the text that your audience will be looking for. Not only will they know that the video is relevant to what they are looking for, but it will also help with appearing in search results.
Your video image — spend ten minutes and actually create a beautiful one that will capture your audience. Watch successful videos in your genre and see what types of images they create. Do not copy their image, but use it as a way to inspire you. For example, if your video teaches business people how to give a public presentation, and you notice that all the other videos have Steve Jobs and sans-serif images, professional looking fonts, maybe you should not use bubble letters for yours.[:]
